Fossil in the patio slab.
Hi Jackie, welcome to the project. This is a beautiful picture of an interesting occurance. You captured perfectly a dendrite, a crystal that develops a typical multi-branching tree-like form. In paleontology, dendritic mineral crystal forms are often mistaken for fossils. These so called pseudofossils form naturally occurring fissures in the rock, that are filled by percolating mineral solutions.

@mona65 thank you Mona. I love that I have this pseudo fossil in my garden.
